Hi everyone,
Our dog devastatingly had a fight with another dog recently. He is 6 years old and has never bitten before (he's even had other dogs in the house before). He was being walked by the walker and on his lead, when another dog came running up to him (who was off the lead). Both dogs started fighting - the walker is saying it was our dog who "started it". They both came out with big cuts and scratches, but sadly our dog inflicted more damage with a larger vet bill for a set of stitches.
Naturally we were so upset we offered to straight away claim on our insurance. Our insurance company are not willing to pay out on our third party as they are saying we/nor the dog walker are negligent...
We've been in contact with the owners throughout, but they are now threatening legal action against us as they want us to pay the full vet bill in cash as they do not want to claim on their insurance!! We've offered to even pay their excess and any premiums they might incur next year...they are still refusing and trying to say they will go to court to get our dog destroyed...
Does anyone have any experience in this instance? Thanks so much!
